Sure some of if work will leave you scratching your head, why in the hell would he ever think that photograph is any good. The fact is he really doesn't edit any of his work....so its pretty much an on going body of work. His view of the world is an interesting one I think, an always interested to see what he is doing. --- On Tue 12/05, Harrison McClary < harrison@mcclary.net > wrote: From: Harrison McClary [mailto: harrison@mcclary.net] To: lug@leica-users.org Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2006 11:23:30 -0600 Subject: Re: [Leica] Top Ten Living Photographers Walt Johnson wrote:<br>> Frank is for sure, Friedlander is a maybe and the rest are your <br>> fantasies.....<br>><br><br>Walt...you don't like Eggleston??? ;) Come on his snapshots are <br>great...nice loading the camera shots.....<br><br>Never understood why people think his "work" is so great.
